MyJoints: Improving Orthopaedic Patient Outcomes
Developed in partnership with Synapser and Aderati, MyJoints is a navigation tool designed to help users locate the source of their joint pain and the appropriate specialist best suited to help them resolve this. Our goal is to reduce the rate of revisions, relieve patient anxiety and promote trust between patients and surgeons by providing a trusted information portal for patients, so that you and your specialist can make the right decisions about your orthopaedic procedure.
Improving Communication between patient and surgeon
Finding out that you require an orthopaedic procedure can be overwhelming. Credible information about your diagnosis and proposed treatment is vital to improving communication between you and your medical practitioner. Your medical practitioner aims to ensure that you have the correct information about your procedure and that you are talking to the right specialist.
How does myJoints help patients navigate the orthopaedic journey?
MyJoints can be used on mobile or tablet, and provides a user journey to locate pain, understand symptoms, provide access to credible information supporting diagnosis and possible treatment, and most importantly, identifying an appropriate specialist in your area. Additionally, the application allows for the recording of a user's injuries, medical reports and medical procedures, to streamline a user’s orthopaedic procedure journey.
